WAsHINGToN, Sep. 25.--The War de-
partment has been aware for some time of
threatened trouble at the San Carlos reser-
walton in Arizona. The trouble seems
to be similar to that of Colorow, arising
from an attempt by territorial officers to
serve civil process ON Indians. In the
present case the War department is in
formed that constable with forty depu-
ties IL endeavoring to serve process, and
it is believed at the department that any
attempt TO arrest the Indians will result
in a general stampede. A telegram has
been received at the War department,
from San Carlos, dated September %,
stating that Mr.. Horton, an Indian trad
er, was shot by an Indian scout, who was
afterwards pursued by Lieutenant Elliott,
the chief OF scouts, Porter and some as
sistant scouts. A scout was also shot.

Il had an engagement while III On eastern
city TO visit the theatre with Miss Nelson,
who was not playing at the time. | had
secured a private box, whore she could sit
unobservca and enjoy the pleasure, somewhat
rare to her, Of witnessing The efforts Of some
other artists. / knew her well, but was not
aware of this organic weakness, and was,
therefore, somewhat perturbed when she spoke
about it and by way of prec2ution asked me,
in case she became sick and speeches., simply
to give her good shaking and she would be
all right Ia = moment You may imagine
that the possibility Of such an occurrence did
not add materially to my comfort, but, of
course, the poor girl could not take the
chance Of having such a turn when in COM
pany with one who hadn't the remotest idea
what TO do for her, and | couldn't blame her
for guarding against any fatal results as well
as she could.
II think she must have had q preElonision
of trouble that night, for, sure enough. when
the play was about half over, she attracted
my attention by some slight movement. and
l saw at once that the trouble she feared was
upon her. Half terrified out Of nay wits. |
still had sufficient presence CT mind 10 follow
the directions, previously given and il mo
ment had the satisfaction of hearing her
speak. The incident was not Observed by the
audience, as the box curtains hid as from
view, and the trouble WIS over quicker than
it can be described, but | can assure you |
have been thankful a thousand times that l
had been advised what to do in that moment
Of terror. From that circumstance [ have
evolved nay own theory in regard TO the real
cause Of Miss NELSON'S death. It was reported
at the time that the poor dead Juliet had
taken poison, rs Shakespcare,s Juliet YVES
supposed to have done ages before. To me,
however, it seems probable that the tired
heart had stopped short, as it had often tried
to do before, and this time DO one was at
hand who knew her disposition or the danger
that constantly hung over her. l don't know
whether any of these statements were ever
printed before or not, but l DO know that
what have stated as my own experience is
true. X Chicago Herald Interview.

Ovrri;a ;iirg The Popular Ccncept;o

l. was q Little hard on DR.. Holmes that

turn FnCH him for reserving his Harvard

Of him that there is Yankee thrift
about this turning Of poems for public
occasions into money which is hardly in
accordance with the popular conception Of
the poeJical temperament" Tie state
ment may he true; we are afraid il is.
But the popular conception" needs
ovcrhaUling. There is 10 Ccod reason
Why the poet should bestow the offspring
Of his muse upon the public for nothing
any more than there is for the painters
doing the same with the fruit Of his in
spiration and toll. There has been-and
probably still is-a good deal Of wrong
headedness on the part of the public in
this matter. 1t is only recently, if at all,
that the masses have become fully recon
ciled to the notion Of a minister's taking
any thought about his salary; and his
changing pulpits IN order to secure better
compensation is still regarded pretty gem
orally as 4 good subject for jocose allu-
sions to a call with money in it," or to
the spreading Of the gospel without
money and without price" Yet the in
telligent admit when they give the sub
Jcct any serious consideration that the
minister is as worthy of his hire as any
other labOrer. And why not the poet as

! square N the heart of the city where the
/ executions usually take place, ahalf score
of delinquents are often placed on the
raised platform surmounted by n pole
painted brilliant scarlet hue, and in full
sight of the rabble they have their Threats
cut, their hearts torn out, their ears and
noses slit, their tongues pulled out, their
eyes scared, or boiling pitch poured over
their naked bodics-to eVerybody's great
delight except that Of the parties directly
concerned. Along the highways one
meets, stuck in the ground, short, hollow
pillars with the Opper opening closed with
gypsum. Each OF these contains a man,
condemned criminal walled up alive.
Faint groans may often be heard by pas
sersby, for this mode of death is slow and
very painful, but nobody thinks it worth
his while to liberate the poor wretch or
to terminate his suferings by merciful
blow. ''Kismetr' they say, ''such is
fater' Very much depends at executions
upon the hangman. 4 bride TO him or
the guarantee that qualification will be
paid him by the friends of the condemned
man after his death always insure mora
or less speedy death and decrease of the
fortunes otherwise inflicted.
But woe to the poor delinquent who
either has 10 more means left TO buy the
good Offices Of the eXecutiOner or else
chooses to make over his last few tOmanS
to his famiIy-he viii surely rue it in his
last hour and made TO suffer twice as
acutely as would otherwise be the case.
There were for instance, four criminals
hanged up by their feet and nailed to the
boards outside the gates Of Teheran less
than year ago who could be seen there
slowly dying for thirty six hours y well
spent bride to the eXecutioner would have
shortened their troubles, and it remained
finally for one of the diplomatic corps to
bestOw a few kraus TO have these unlucky
malefactOrs put cut of their misery. The
average Persian will look entirely I'M

The Persian'S IndulGenceS,

Moderate in eating the Persian only
| drinks to get drunk The Koran forbids
him to indulge in spirituous or any other
Intoxicating liquor, but the well to do
classes uniformly break the law. Having
once violated their cOnsciences they in
variably go to the extreme in the other
direction. In his anderoun (harem) the
Persian, with his boon companions and
dependents around him, viii drink the
fiery raw spirit Of the country called arrak
or the be0dy native wine till he drops like
log on his rug. OF other stimulants he
uses opium Gheriak) and hasheesh
(cheng). Opium is made into little pills,
generally mixed with after Of roses or
some other favOring substance, and is
partaken Of in moderation, mostly only
while travelling, to better bear fatigue.

In one Of the museums of the city a great
many wax figures are disposed about the hall
and corridors in surprisingly natural and ap-
parently unstudied attitudes, and il IS one of
the principal amusements Of the place to note
the uncertainty and embarrassment Of strang-
ers in taking first views of these figures. The
visitor turns a corner, comes face TO face with
a dignified locking gentleman, and at first
politely refrains from staring at him. Half
turning away the visitor chances fuTtively
over his shoulder, catches the eye Of the dig
nilied party, and hastily averts his gaze. Then
he moves a few steps away, takes another
peep from around corner to see whether
solemn ola gentleman has noticed his some
what impertinent observation, and, finally
concluding that he has been unnecessarily
polite, marches boldly back and tries to stare
Old waxworls out of their countenance.
Taking advantage of this popularity, the
museum manager has put up practical joke
on the public. Upon one of the benches sits
living young woman dressed in a checked
ulster, derby hat, and, Of course, such other
apparel as is required by civilized society.
She holds pocketbook in her hand and
leans her check upon it in a very natural way.
Her complexion is sallow, and She is motion
less. The visitor, who has been fooled several
times and is determined to display 10 more
shyness in the presence Of dummies, steps up
before the lady, surveys her critically for
moment and then consults his catalogue He
has difficulty in finding the subject and when
he looks over the top of the catalogue again
to make sure OF ;he figure, the lady bows
politely and smiles swee.ly at him. Then he
looks fustered and foolish, and goes around
during the rest Of his visit in a scared, eppre-
hensive way, scarce daring to take a good,
long survey even Of tho tablcau OF the last
supper for fear Of putting Peter cat Of coun-
tenance.-New YorI, Cor. Chicago Herald
